Well said!!

I agree.

They can't be the same age, not when consort Li is JSR sister. It's definitely not possible. JSR has a child that's already an adult, and judging from the age difference between siblings in ancient times, their age difference can't exceed 4/5 years. XH and the emperor are around the same age. So, consort Li is more than a few years older than the emperor. People couldn't say anything because he's the emperor.

Exactly, the late emperor was his father, but he still took consort Li as his consort? If I add everything up, she'd be more than a few years older than him. Consort Li used to be the late emperor's consort, and also is JSR sister. JSR has a daughter of such age, and I'm quite sure the age gap between those two sisters can't exceed four years. Besides, the emperor and XH age are similar, so, that means, he didn't just marry his stepmom, but someone older than him, probably old enough to be his aunt. If such story is turned into a drama, the plot would be more than interesting, don't you agree?

Mee too, I like the way he looks when he gets jealous. He becomes a different person when he's with JL, he doesn't show his emotions to others, but shows them to her whenever he's with her. Their chemistry keeps getting more and more firing!!

"Our daily expenses at the Shen family are from my hard work, not from the eldest princess rewards"! So, this wife killer knows this, but still killed his wife knowing that fact? I just can't stand how hypocritical he is.

SYR said; "Is the Shen family eldest princess's dog"? Aren't they? From the moment he framed and buried XFF alive, they've become the Wanning's dog, more worse than a dog if you ask me.

Yes, they're sisters, biological sisters to be precise. I'm just not sure whether consort Li forced her to commit those crimes. I think she meant, she had to do it to survive.

He's been lovey dovey with her for a while now, I remember the look on his face when LJ was comparing him to YSJ, he looked jealous.
You bet, should a mishap occur, I'm pretty sure the rescue is going to be an epic one!!

If consort Li used to be the late emperor's consort, does that mean she's older than the current emperor?

Oh, I think it's worth the try. Thanks for the info.

Does that mean the ML says one thing and does another?

I was referring to the emperor, he's the one who told XH not to get his emotions involved. The emperor mind is not easy to decipher? Yes, he's not easy to read, but I don't think he wants to get rid of consort Li, if he wanted to, why didn't he do so years ago? He didn't just spare her, he even took her as his consort. Now, does he have the right to talk about not having emotions?

I'm also excited for what's to come next. With all the schemings and planning that's going on, I'd like to see how Duke Su will protect JL should a mishap occur.

If the emperor truly intends to get rid of consort Li alongside the other crooks, why did he take her as his consort? It just doesn't make sense, she used to be the late emperor consort, and after the late emperor's demise, I think it's easy to get rid of the late emperor's consort than getting rid of her when she's his consort, don't you agree? Yes, JL is there on her own accord, but viewing her as a "pawn" is a bit out of line, she's more of an "ally" than a "pawn". Indeed, let's wait and see how the next episodes will unfold.

Yes, the saying about "keeping your friends close and your enemies closer" is indeed a wise saying, but you'll agree with me when I say, keeping one's enemy close is indeed wise, keeping them too close is not a wise thing to do. About episode 34 teaser, that I haven't watch. We'll know soon enough whether the argument is meant to be a trap or not. Besides teasers can't show everything that's going to happen in the next episode, they are meant to spark the curiosity of watchers and make us know more about what to expect in the next episode. In my opinion, for a chess piece, consort Li is too close to the emperor, don't you agree?

What about consort Li? Is she not the emperor emotional liability? But has XH pointed this fact out to the emperor? In my opinion, I think he just needs someone that's deprived of emotion, so his plans would succeed much sooner.
Yes, countless soldiers die on the battlefield to protect the country because they're duty bound duty to protect the nation as soldiers . JL is not a soldier, but a civilian and a loyal subject that's should be protected, not sacrificed.

I agree, if the whole thing was reversed, and it's the emperor who's responsible for JL mysery and sufferings, and Wanning was not her enemy. I'm pretty sure he won't be sitting on that throne for long if JL was Wanning's ally. He should be thankful JL is an ally, not an enemy, cause he wouldn't want someone as intelligent and scheming as her as an enemy. So, she's no "pawn", but an "ally".

He always talks about not having emotions, so their great plan doesn't go into ruins. But doesn't he also have emotions? If he doesn't, what about consort Li?

JL always deem it as worth it because she wants revenge on her enemies, she wants justice for her family that fell. XH on the other hand has been wavering for long, he's fallen for JL for quite some time, he's just hiding his feelings for her.
A life of one compared to millions? I don't support such motion, if you can sacrifice one for millions today, then you'll have no problem sacrificing hundreds, even thousands for many more. So, I think sacrificing the innocents for the greater good is not always right. Remember how Tong died in all this chaos? Back to how the emperor truly feels, I'd say he cares about consort Li, if not, he wouldn't have taken her as his consort when she's previously married to the late emperor, don't you agree?
